The Best of Cathay Pacific’s Lounges in Hong Kong

Details of All 5 of Cathay Pacific’s Lounges

A much-needed pick-me-up with this beautiful cup of cafe latte at the Coffee Loft in The Wing lounge. At the lounges, you can have your caffeine boost, relax with a glass of champagne, or hydrate with a bottle of water

The Best Cathay Pacific Lounge – The Pier

Of the 5 lounges in Hong Kong International Airport, The Pier is the best because of the size, facilities, and offerings within the lounge. The other lounges fill up fast, leaving it difficult to find an area with plenty of personal space.

At The Pier, head straight down to the Teahouse where, for now, sits the least number of people. And, unlike the other lounges, there is a Relaxation Room with private loungers for a layover power nap.

The entrance of The Pier near Gate 65. If you have a long layover, it is worth the walk to enjoy this lounge. But, give yourself extra time to head to your departure gate as the gate trains only go one way, leaving you to walk back towards the lower-numbered gates
The Pier has the most facilities of the lounges, including a Teahouse and Relaxation Room. As soon as you walk into The Pier, you will find yourself in the Food Hall and the Coffee Cart. Then walk all the way down to see the impressive floor plan of facilities

 

Food Stations at The Pier

Not only does The Pier have the most number of facilities, it also has the best food offerings – adding to the reasons why this is the best lounge at the airport.

Food Hall. As soon as you enter The Pier you will instantly be ready to eat, starting here at the Food Hall with its complete buffet spread, from salads to tarts and pizzas to roasts and stews. You will surely find something to eat to satisfy your layover hunger
Be sure to get the Bacon Tart and the Portuguese Egg Tart – 2 of the best items in the Food Hall. The food is constantly cooked, baked, and replenished throughout the day, ensuring fresh, hot food for the first class, business class, and Marco Polo club passengers
Long Bar. There’s nothing like a drink to relax before a flight. At the Long Bar, you can enjoy champagne, wines, hard liquor, cocktails, coffee, juices, and more. The bartenders are ready to pour your drinks
Noodle Bar. The highlight of the lounges is the Noodle Bar for the won ton noodle soup and dan dan noodles. From my recent travels, the best the wonton noodle soups are from the Hong Kong lounges. Manila’s is decent, and San Francisco’s is not worth the calories
Dan Dan Noodles, Fried Chicken, and Dim Sum. The lounge is the best place for one last Chinese bite(s) before leaving Hong Kong. I always grab 2 bowls of noodles (the wonton noodle soup and the dan dan noodles) for one last calorie splurge before the flight
